Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't clean a bolt action rifle, but if you thrust one into my hands I could fire it with reasonably good form, and I can also reload it. I'm pretty sure the rifle in the house where we spent T-Giving a couple years ago was bolt action.

The most important thing I think to do with one of those is to know a couple ways to take it out of the hands of the idiot that's threatening you with one.

There should be more fighting stuff on the manly list. Grrh, arrgh, roid-rage.

I have a bolt-action .22. It needs cleaning. It's needed cleaning for about 15 years. Wouldn't it be more manly to clean an M-16?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wouldn't it be more manly to clean an M-16?

Totally. Or, you know, disassemble and reassemble one blindfolded in 40 seconds, or whatever army-guys do....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Real men need no guns. They kill the enemy with their bare hands.

Because books.

Or their teeth. It's the Jack Bauer school of manliness!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Or, of course, a round house kick to the head.

I notice it didn't ask if I knew how to run a Wing T defense...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just fell again. This is very tedious. At least it was a quasi-directed fall, so I only hit my neck and not my head (I fell in the foot between my shower's glass door and the counter of my sink, so odds were not on my side).

I think that's a sign I should go into the office before any other mishaps hap.
